CHAPTER II. 
The First Finger. 

Gurdo& waited for his companion 
to go on. It was a boast of his that 
he had exhausted most of the sensa 
tions of life, and that he never allow: 
ed anything to astonish him. All the 
same, he was astonished now, 
surprised beyond words. For the last 
twenty-five years, on and off, he had 
known Venner. Indeed; there were 
few secrets between them eince the 


day when they had come down from | 


Oxford together. From time to time, 
during his wanderings, Venner had 
written to his old chum a fairly com- 
jlete account of his adventures. Dur- 
ing the last three years the letters

direction of the cripple huddled up! 
in the armchair. Just as if he had) 
j been writing for a signal, the invalid | 
| stretched out one of his long arms 

end laid his fingers significantly on) 
the tiny silver box he had deposited) 
jon the table eome little time before 

The small waiter went across 
room and deliberately lifted the sil- 
ver box from the teble. Then he 
walked briskly across to where the; 
millionrire was seated, placed the box | 
close to his elbow, and vanished. He 
seomed to fairly race down the room | 
until he was lost in a pile of palms 
which masked the door. Gurdon had | 
followed all this with the deepest} 
possible interest. Venner sat there, 
apparently lost to all sense of his sur: | 
roundings. His head was on his 


hands, his mind far away. Therefore, |

to study the stranve things that were 
going on around him. His whoce at-| 
tention wes now concentrated upon)

Gurdon had noticed a reticence in) coffee cup, and then stretched out 


the manner of his old chum that he 
had not seen before. 


for the other to give some explana: 
tion of his extraordinary «statement. 
But Venner appeared to have for: 
gotten all about Gurtion. He sat 
there, shielding one side of his face, 
and heedleas of the attentions of the 
waiter, who proffered him food from 
time to time. 

“Is that all you ere going to tell 
me?’ Gurdon asked at length. 

“Upon my word, I am very sor,” 
Venner said. “But you will excuse 
me if Ll say nothing more on this 
head at present. You can imagine 
what a shock this has been to me.’ 

“Of course. IT don't wish to be im 
pertinent, old chap, but I presume 
that there has been some little mis- 
understanding-—"’ 

“Not in the least. There has been 
no misunderstanding whatever. 1 
honestly believe that the woman ove) 
yonder is still es passionstely fond 
of me as T am of her. As you know 
Gurdon, 1 never was much of a lad-

fingers if ft had contained some 
poisonous insect, and he rose to his! 
feet with a sudden scream that could! 
be heard all over the room. 

There was # quick hush in the con- 


ys

in the dipeetion of the millionaire’s |

Once again the fridhtened ery rang 
out, end then Fenwick stood there, 
the invalid on this side of the grave. 

The sufferer sank at length with a 
sich of re‘ief into a ‘arge armehair, 
which had been snecially placed for} 
him. He waved the servants aside 
as if he had no further use for them, | 
and commenced to study his menu

LEGAL PHRASEOLOGY. 


What Some of the Terms Common to 
Court Practice Means. 


To most persons the phrase “Ths 
indenture witnesseth” is as 
Greek as the other common phrase 
“Witness my hand and seal.” Yet 
both are relics of a time when tes 
legal forms carried with thein a sig 
nificance not obtaening at present. 

Legal documents were once engross- 


mue!}i 


| ed upon parchment because paper cost ; 


so much more than dressed skin, The 

yurchment was seldom trimmed exact 

yo and the top Was sCdileped with 

the knife; hence the tern: “This in 

denture."” Even where the lawyers | 
have departed from the custom of us- | 
ing parchment for their legal forme 

the phrase has been retained, 

In the same way the signature of 
“hand and seal” is a retic of those 
olden times when only clerks and the 
clergy could wield the pen. It was 
the custom for the contracting parties 
to lay their hands upon the document 
in token of good faith, and there re- 
mained a steudge. As these original 
thumb marks were not easily identi. 
fied, the gentry added their seals for 
the purpose of further establishing 
the validity of the document. It may | 
not be generally known that a seal ix 
still required in law, though the need 
for it passed with the spread of edue | 
eation, and the bit of red paper alfix. | 
ed by the lawyer is as necessary as 
the signature to certain documenta, 

A court of law is a reminiscence | 
of the time when justice sat in the 
open courtyard, and the “dock” is | 
from a German word meaning a re- | 
ceptacle, while the ‘bar’ is a Welah 
word meaning a branch of a tree used 
to separate the lords of justice trom | 
their vassals | 

The entire phraseology of the 
bench is reminiscent of the earlier 
days, but, having been proved pro- 
per, has been retained, 


Blacks Gaining Ground. 


South Africans ure worrying over the 
views recently propounded by Prof 
Brown of Cape Town, who foresees 
that before the end of the century the 
Kaflirs will be the dominant race in 
the sub-continent, } 

One of the principal {actor that is 
welding the natives together is reli- | 
gion, which is being disseminated by | 
missionaries, The natives are inerens- 
ing at an enormous rate, and in Cape 
Colony they are being educated to a 
great extent. Nearly every native boy 
and girl is taught to read and write 
More and more black labor is being 
employed in the colony, In a very 
short time the native will have a large 
number of trades in his own hands 
In skilled labor he is steadily displae- | 
ing white labor. Utimately he will 
displace the farmer as well, 

In Cape Town one can see natives , 
having their boota blacked by white 
men, Intermarriage between natives | 
and whites is taking place, and event- 
ually the race will become a mixture, | 
Segregation in Prof. Black's opinion ta 
the only thing that will save white | 
South vfrica, | 


Portrait Superstitions.

superstifious exixt regarding one's por- 
trait or photograph, ‘Thus among | 
some classes of Germans it ta said 
that If you have your portrait painted |

Marketing Eel Grass. 


During the last three or four months 
several hundred tons of eel gris: 
have been exported from Yarmouth, 
Nova Scotia, to the United States, 
Where is sells at $10 to $12 per ton, 
while freight from Yarmouth to Bos- 
ton is about $l per ton, 

Lust year’s crop is now about clean 
ed up, but those engaged in gathering 
and curing in thia district have been 
quite busy. The supply on hand t+ 
rreatly larger than at the same time 
for a like date for any previous year. 
Two or three gatherers of this grass, 
who appear to monopolize the export 
trade, buying up from the smaller 
gatherers what they cure, have erect- 
ed mammoth sheds and are busy stor- 


ing it away. They report that the 
market in the United States is well 
supplied at this ume, and that, with 


small lot, 
there will be very little exported dur 
ing the coming year, and not a great 
deal until 1912. 

Boston is a very large buyer for this 
grass, where it is used in building, 
packing, cheap mattresses and mixing 
with other fibres. Efforts have been 
made, and are still being made, to 
utilize the grass for rope, twine, rug, 
and other materials for which = sisal 
and other grasses are used. It is 
stout, loug, und of fine fibre, and it is 
suggested that it might be used to 
advantage in paper-making, Hun- 
dreds and thousands of tons of it eouid 
be secured near Yarmouth every year, 
just for the gathering, along the sea- 
Shore, 


Daniel Wilson’s House. 

Dr, Daniel Wilson, afterwards prin- 
cipal of the University of Toronto,

The Didsbury hockey team vent up 
to Lacomb last week to play a return 
game with that team. The boys were 
defeated by a score of 6.3. The 
game was played under great difficul- 
ties, several of the boys coming home

The next game will be played at! 
Didsbury between the home team and 
the St. Mary's of Calgiry on Friday 
afternoon. It is expected that this 
will be an exciting game. 

The Stettler team have dropped out 
through non-support, 

Lacombe is following Calgary's lead 
in getting outside players. They 
might as well disthand the league and 
let the city teams finish up. It looks | 
like the finish of amateur hockey in 
Alberta tor a few seasons until the men | 
responsible will have honesty enough 
to stay hy the rules,

The Seed Fair 


The fifth annual Seed Fair of fia 
Oidsbury Agricuitural Suciety, held 
on Monday, was a better success than 
usual and the grain exhibited was not 
only better but there were more ex. 
hibits. 

The attendance at the meeting “a 
the afternoon, at which speakers sup- 
plied by the Dominion Seed Branch 
were present, was very good, about 
forty farmers being present, 

The speakers were: K. H. Mal- 
colm, farmer, of Killam, spoke on 
“Seed Grad ng, Good Cuitivation, 
and Improved Crops,’’ C, BE. Lewis, 
Chief Weed  Isspector, Need 


gave an able address on “Weeds,"’ 

Owing to the absence of the Secre- 
tary of the Seciety we are unable to} 
publish the names of the prize winners 
in this week's paper, butthey will be 
published next week.
